First thing when we get to Washington Emily manages to get bit by a bug!! She got tired of us asking to look at it. It's all healed now tho!!

Hair cut

Emily cut her hair in a stacked bob. Its really cute. These are horrible pics but Emily didnt want me taking them hehe

Hello! We heard from the birthmom today, she said that she has popped and finally looks pregnant. We are at 18 weeks. Almost half there! yeah! We are going down there to see her and the Birthfather in July and to find out what the baby is ;-)

5 years

These two pics are almost 5 years apart. Wow what a difference there is huh? I can't belive how much she
changed. I love each and ever stage. We are having a great summer even tho we won't be going to the
family get together in WA.

Our HUGE family news is we are adopting a baby. "We" are due in November, and will find out what the
baby is in July sometime. We are really thrilled. Please pray for the first family during this hard time. It's
not an easy decision they are going to be making. We will be doing an open adoption. We are soooo excited!

Happy Birthday Princess Emily

I took this picture at 1040 this morning which is the time she was born, Ive done this every year now!

I am really way to tired to do much tonight but Happy Birthday Princess we had a great day! I love you

Grandma is a softie

  When Emily was born my mom told me that she would not be allowed to play with the bears and would just have to learn not to touch them.

Yeah that didn't happened.

When Emily started showing interest in them mom said, "Oh it's okay if she plays with one or two."

Guess we can see how she stuck to that rule!


oh and these arent always on the coffee table, Emily put them there today!

Bittersweet

 

 

Tonight I am sitting here on the verge of tears. My sweet innocent baby is graduating preschool tomorrow. How is that even possiable? Wasn't it yesterday she was born? I look at her and sometimes it seems like she can't be five and then sometimes she seems older then her years. I am so proud of her but it's bittersweet that she is already at this point...before we know it we will be at her high school graduation. Oh my lets not go there, shall we?

Comments

It was brought to my attention that some people don't know how to leave comments. Under each entry you see the word Comment, click on that that, and then it will open up another window and you can leave it in there. easy easy!!

Happy Memorial day

I hope everyone had a great day! We had a little b-que just the 4 of us and hung out at home.

I spent most of the day thinking about the people that are at war, the people that are away from their family to fight this war. I hope they all make it home safely!

so not a princess

It's all been worth it

So many times since Emily was born I thought about going to work, but I knew I couldn't leave her 8 hrs every day so we made sure I could stay home with her, well today her teacher told me that they do this testing two times a year, and average is 50-60 and Emily scored 140!! Mrs. Kalmer and I both stood there and cried! Hearing that made me realize that me staying home with her and teaching her for 4 years really paid off.

The cooker

 
 
 

We normally do something every night as a family. Tonight Emily decided she would put a show on for us.

So we got out the easy bake oven , and she became "Samantha" the easy cooker LOL.

She did make us some yummy brownies!

Sunshine

 

This is Emily's best friend sunshine. Russell and I adopted her on our first anniversary(1998) from the local pound. She is the dog of nine lives as she has been attacked by a dog, ran over by a car and lived to tell about it!

 
 
 
 

I am sitting here in tears because my daughter just made her own bologna and cheese sandwhich. She grows up more and more every day. Totally breaks my heart.

Summertime

  Maybe this means summer is here. My parents went camping so Emily and I drove out and spent the day with them. Emily had a blast! I did to but she was brave enough to get in the water. Burrr it was cold!! She found a dead duck so she held a funeral for it and was almost in tears because it passed away.
